Upon hearing Zheng Gensheng’s remarks, Nie Zhenbang was not at all surprised. In the officialdom, Tianfu Province and Qianzhou Province sat adjacently, the exchange between the two provinces was frequent, any information about Tianfu Province, was clearly known in Qianzhou Province with just a slight inquiry.

In Tianfu Province, they fell short, and in the end, only had three eligible units. This time, it seemed that Qianzhou had learned their lesson. A prefecture-level city alone brought forth three units, and Qianzhou has nine prefecture-level cities in total. So, the figures calculated indicate at least more than a dozen units.

Looking at Zheng Gensheng who seemed somewhat helpless next to him, Nie Zhenbang also laughed. Zheng Gensheng was fine in other aspects but was somewhat lacking in dealing with local officials. This was easy to understand, after all, Zheng Gensheng had always been in the ministries in Jingcheng.

Compared to the brutal struggles at the local levels, the conflicts in the ministries were minor.

However, Nie Zhenbang didn’t underestimate Zheng Gensheng. When he first entered the Youth League Central Committee, his political experience was even less than Zheng Gensheng’s. However, Nie Zhenbang had seen a lot more and had twenty years more experience. At this moment, applying it himself, he became quickly familiar with the ins and outs.

“Old Zheng, do not worry. This time Tianfu left an opening, and it’s certain that Qianzhou has an idea. In fact, we understand very well, out of the ten spots, we will not leave one unfilled to take away, it will surely be placed among the Southwest Three Provinces. In this way, Tianfu will lose its chance. As the second stop, Qianzhou will be prepared and will not let Caiyun Province take the advantage easily.” Nie Zhenbang soon explained with a smile.

Zheng Gensheng didn’t disappoint Nie Zhenbang, proving himself to be the person Nie Zhenbang had chosen for careful cultivation; he grasped things at once. He suddenly said, “Zhenbang, do you mean…? Simply hand this fourth spot directly to Qianzhou Province.”

Nie Zhenbang nodded at this moment, everything being pursued is for maximizing benefits. Tianfu Province had no hope. So, the competition was between Qianzhou and Caiyun provinces. The conditions were equivalent in both provinces. Qianzhou, being the second stop, naturally valued it extremely.

If this position was left to Caiyun, as the last stop, it would not attach as much importance as Qianzhou. Now, in Qianzhou, both the first and second in command appeared to greet them, which explained the situation well enough.

As for the three stops in Bozhou City, Nie Zhenbang didn’t have much of an impression of the other two places but had a profound impression of the third workshop of Maotai Liquor Factory. After this, Nie Zhenbang and others, led by Li Xiangdong, quickly carried on to other places without a break.

The last stop was Qianzhou’s Qianzhou Buyei Autonomous Prefecture. As the southwest gateway of Qianzhou Province, Qianzhou is located at the junction trio of Qianzhou Province, western part of Guangdong Province and Caiyun Province. Geographically, it was very prominent.

“Chief Nie, the journey to Qianzhou marks the last stop of our Qianzhou Province tour. Here, after our preliminary examination by the Provincial Youth League Committee, two units have been evaluated as provincial-level civilized youth symbols. One is the Grass Dam Street Office in Yixing District, where the Qianzhou Provincial Government is located. The other one is the Qianzhou Tobacco Company.” In the car to Qianzhou, Li Xiangdong introduced to Nie Zhenbang.

Finishing speaking, Li Xiangdong paused and also laughed and said, “Chief Nie, after this long journey, how do you find the prospective candidates of our Qianzhou Province?”

With the experience in Tianfu Province, the lesson was learned in Qianzhou Province. The practice of giving gifts and local specialties had thoroughly disappeared. The entire evaluation process was conducted strictly according to the rules, without any violations.

Hearing Li Xiangdong’s words, Nie Zhenbang laughed. He was well aware of the intent behind Li Xiangdong’s words; he was probing for information and insights.

At this point, Nie Zhenbang had no intention of holding back. Since they had decided to give the fourth spot to Qianzhou Province, there was no point in hiding it. If he did, others might not appreciate it. Then, Nie Zhenbang also laughed and said, “Secretary Li, to be honest, before coming to Qianzhou, my impression of it was poor and bacl«vard. But this time, the development of Qianzhou really surprised me. As a province located in the inland region and impoverished Western Region, it made such significant achievements on the road of reform and openness. The leadership of the Qianzhou Provincial Party Committee is not simple. The work of the Qianzhou Provincial Youth League Committee, as the Qianzhou Provincial Committee’s reserve forces and the leader of the youth force, is also awe-inspiring.”

Pausing for a moment, Nie Zhenbang continued, “With such excellent results, naturally rich fruits can be obtained. Secretary Li, you need not worry too much.”

With Nie Zhenbang’s words, Li Xiangdong was much assured. For things like this, there was no need to be explicit. People could perceive it by themselves.

As soon as the car entered Qianzhou, at a wide place ahead, as usual, a few cars were waiting on the side. Li Xiangdong, as the deputy secretary of the Qianzhou Provincial Youth League Committee, opened the car window, glanced around, and his face immediately sank.

Immediately, Li Xiangdong opened the car door and stepped off, heading directly to the crowd waiting by the side, his face gloomy. He said, “Comrade Guosheng, why is it only you who have come?”

The Comrade Guosheng referred to by Li Xiangdong is the Secretary of the Qianzhou Municipal Committee of the Youth League. At this moment, listening to Li Xiangdong’s questioning, Liu Guosheng did not know what to say. He hung his head while the deputy secretary of the Qianzhou Youth League Committee whispered, “Secretary Li, we can’t help it either. Regarding this matter, we have reported to the municipal committee, but Deputy Mayor Huang doesn’t take it seriously, look…”

At this moment, Li Xiangdong’s anger was somewhat reduced. He was well aware of the affairs of the Youth League Committee. Trying to manage the affairs of the party committee and the government was impossible. As for Qianzhou Province, there were no specific orders. Welcoming and receiving by the local government leaders were merely a matter based on the level of importance accorded by each local government.

However, when Nie Zhenbang and his team were in Qianzhou Province, they were welcomed by the local party and government leaders at every location. Now they were at the last stop, and even the four guest spots were arranged, but all of a sudden there was no party or government leader present. Wouldn’t this give people a feeling of being abandoned after crossing the river? Li Xiangdong’s anger stemmed from this.

After a moment of silence, Li Xiangdong lost his patience and waved his hand saying, “Alright, alright. Lead the way.”

The police car led the way, and in this regard, the Qianzhou Youth League Committee had done a good job. The motorcade drove directly into the

Qianzhou Hotel.

In the banquet hall of the Qianzhou Hotel, as soon as the group sat down, Liu Guosheng, the Secretary of the Qianzhou Youth League Committee, stood up with a glass of wine and said, “Chief Nie, Secretary Li, and all leaders, on behalf of the Qianzhou Youth League Committee, I warmly welcome you. If our hospitality is found wanting in any respect, I would like to apologize with this toast.”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also laughed. The reception in Qianzhou was indeed unique. Local party committee and government leaders did not attach importance to it. Nie Zhenbang had noticed this early on and didn’t care much. Then, Nie Zhenbang also stood up and said, “Secretary Liu, you’re too kind. On behalf of the review team, I thank the Youth League Committee of Qianzhou Province and the Qianzhou Municipal Committee for their hospitality. I’ll join in this toast.”

Nie Zhenbang, who did not hold high position, indeed represented a different status at this moment. If one had to truly scrutinize, there wouldn’t be much that could be said against Qianzhou Province. However, solely based on Nie Zhenbang’s modesty, Li Xiangdong felt a strong liking for him. Surely, the bureaucrats from Jingcheng were at a different level.

Just then, the door of the private dining room was suddenly pushed open, and a slightly plump man in his early fifties entered.

Upon seeing this man, Liu Guosheng immediately greeted him, “Secretary

Huang, what brings you here?”

Then, Liu Guosheng turned to Li Xiangdong and Nie Zhenbang and introduced,

“Secretary Li, Chief Nie, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Huang Yao, the

Deputy Secretary and Deputy Mayor of the Qianzhou Municipal Committee.”

Upon hearing Liu Guosheng’s introduction, Nie Zhenbang also looked up at Huang Yao. Nie Zhenbang recalled that in the future, this man was the high-ranking official who fell from grace in Qianzhou Province. Rumors had it that this man was arrogant and domineering. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

As Nie Zhenbang was contemplating, Huang Yao had already said, “So, our comrade from the Youth League Committee is having a gathering here. Is this the Deputy Secretary of the Youth League Committee, Li? Hello, and welcome to Qianzhou for your inspection and guidance.”

Although these words seemed polite, they were laced with a hint of contempt. Despite Li Xiangdong being a deputy secretary, just a ‘Secretary’ address would suffice, but to mention the word ‘Deputy’ was considered disrespectful.

Besides, Liu Guosheng had introduced Nie Zhenbang among the large group of people here, but Huang Yao acted as if he had not heard it. This was another form of disrespect.

For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward. Li Xiangdong’s face changed slightly, but he recovered immediately. However, Zhang Min and Yu Shengli, the two recent graduates, stood blankly on the side, looking very dissatisfied.

Li Xiangdong managed to calm himself and said with a smile, “Deputy Secretary Huang, you’re too kind. The Youth League Committee, with its work concerning youth education and ideological awareness, inevitably can’t compare to the busyness of party and government leadership like Deputy Secretary Huang. ”

Huang Yao was not a fool. He could tell from the address that Li Xiangdong was somewhat dissatisfied with him. He immediately smiled and said, “Deputy Secretary Li makes a point. This Youth Civilization Project, as I see it, is just what it is. It’s all surface work. It’d be better to be realistic in whatever you do.” (To be continued.
